We had four amazing children together. Thank you
Felicia, I am so deeply sorry to hear of your dad’s passing. It truly is a life changing part of life. It is ok to feel so many emotions right now. Let them flow. It will be a cycle of ups and downs for quite a while. Know in your heart he is still a huge part of you and is so proud of you. In time, I pray you are able to feel only the great memories you made together. Sending you a big huge hug from the bottom of my heart.

We loved having Lane at Living Water church. We are so sorry to hear of his passing. We are praying for Karna and family.
I’m so sorry to hear that your dad passed. He was always good to me and kept in contact when Logan was still with us. That’s something you guys might not know.
What a shock though, he was still pretty young.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Take care of each other.

We are incredibly sorry for your loss. We loved having a chance to know Lane, and experience all the joy and hummingbirds he brought to Wall Lake.
